September 2011 Meetup

Social Media Club Princeton New Jersey Region

Wednesday September 21st at 6:00 pm @ Purple Stripe Productions

Google+Google+ for Personal & Professional Use

With Google+ becoming a major social networking platform within weeks of its ‘field release’, there is no longer any question that the social web is here to stay. The Google+ platform is not even open to the general public yet. No one knows exactly which direction it is heading, but by getting in and getting comfortable now you will have an advantage for when the floodgates open!

This Social Media Club Princeton NJ Region meetup will discuss tips and tricks that you can use to make the most of Google+ features such as ProfilesHangoutsCircles and Sparks.

Register for Social Media Club Princeton NJ Region - September 2011 in Trenton, NJ  on Eventbrite


As a measure of good faith, our local chapter has started charging a $5 fee to attend meetups.  For over two years this club has offered free events, but over the last six month we have had many issues with a large number ‘no-shows’ after getting sponsorship and covering expenses out of our own pockets. We hope you understand the need to charge a nominal fee.  All tickets are non-refundable, thanks.


Social Media Club has been organized for the purpose of sharing best practices, establishing ethics and standards, and promoting media literacy around the emerging area of Social Media. This is the beginning of a global conversation about building an organization and a community where the many diverse groups of people who care about Social Media can come together to discover, connect, share, and learn. Learn more at the Social Media Club parent website, or at the local Social Media Club Princeton NJ Region Chapter.

Advertising & Social Media

Advertising and social media are as different as you might think. From paid to earned, organic to sponsored, advertising on social media networks has proven to be effective. With a specific focus on Facebook and Twitter, find out the options your business has for social media advertising including costs involved (yes, some of it is free), FTC guidelines involved, and answers on what really makes people ‘click’ with your business.
